The longest home run honors of 2013 thus far belongs to San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence. Pence belted the massive two-run homer against the Colorado Rockies in the first inning at Coors Field -- a 476 feet shot according to ESPN's Stats & Info. The ball cleared the left-field bleachers and landed near a burger shack startling customers in line.
